Hand Tap DIN 352 No.1 M8×1.25 HSS ISO2 (6H) — TECWERK

A Hand Tap DIN 352 No.1 M8×1.25 HSS ISO2 (6H) TECWERK designed for cutting metric ISO threads in medium-strength steels and general workshop applications

• HSS material for reliable cutting
• Metric ISO thread M8×1.25, ISO2 (6H)
• Suitable for steels up to 900 N/mm²

Consistent thread quality for assembly reliability

The tap is manufactured to DIN 352 and DIN 13 Blatt 1 standards, which ensures predictable thread geometry and compatibility with standard nuts and tapped holes. The ISO2 (6H) tolerance field provides a dependable fit class for many mechanical assemblies; this means the tapped hole will meet common engineering tolerances without bespoke adjustments. Specified as a right-hand cutter, the tool suits conventional drilling and tapping sequences and is intended for manual or machine-guided tapping where controlled feed and rotation are applied.

Long-lasting cutting performance with high-speed steel

Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), the tap delivers a balance of toughness and wear resistance for repeated use. HSS retains cutting-edge hardness at elevated temperatures, so the tool preserves geometry during typical workshop tasks. The specification notes a shaft diameter of 6 mm, which supports secure clamping in standard tap holders and hand tools. As a result, the user benefits from a stable tool connection and reduced vibration, contributing to improved surface finish and longer service life.

Application range and material suitability explained

The tool is rated for use with steels up to approximately 900 N/mm² tensile strength; this rating indicates suitability for common structural and mild alloy steels encountered in maintenance, prototyping and production work. For users less familiar with material specifications: the tensile strength figure is a measure of the metal’s resistance to being pulled apart; a tap suited to 900 N/mm² will perform reliably on a wide range of workshop steels without premature wear. For non-ferrous or more exotic materials, consult technical guidance to confirm suitability.

Practical integration into workshop workflows

With a standard M8×1.25 thread form and compliance with DIN norms, the tap is straightforward to integrate into existing tool assortments and jigs. The right-hand cutting direction fits typical lathe and drill sequences, and the HSS core allows occasional sharpening or reconditioning where appropriate. For efficient use, recommended practices include secure clamping of the workpiece, appropriate cutting lubricant for steel, and intermittent reversal (back-off) to break chips when hand tapping or using a tapping head. These measures reduce risk of tap breakage and ensure repeatable results.

FAQ

What material is the tap made from?
The tap is manufactured from HSS (high-speed steel), providing heat resistance and wear performance suitable for repeated tapping operations.

Which thread specification does the tap produce?
The tool cuts a metric ISO M8×1.25 thread to ISO2 (6H) tolerance, matching standard metric fasteners and design specifications.

Can this tap be used on hardened steels?
The tap is specified for steels up to approximately 900 N/mm² tensile strength; for hardened steels or materials beyond this range, alternative tooling or specialist advice is recommended.

Is the tool suitable for machine tapping as well as hand use?
Yes, the geometry and shaft Ø 6 mm support secure clamping for both manual tapping and machine-assisted tapping with appropriate holders and torque control.

Does the product conform to recognised standards?
Yes, the tool is produced in accordance with DIN 352 and references DIN 13 Blatt 1 for metric thread form and dimensions.
